The History Lab is short course of six weeks duration that aims to develop skills in gaining access to and critically appraising primary and secondary sources used in historical research and argumentation.
Four of the six weekly classes take place at Butler Library, with specialized librarians joining the instructors in presenting and leading exercises in how to locate printed and unpublished sources and begin to deploy them in historical scholarship. It usually takes place from the second to the seventh week of each semester and carries 2 points, graded P/F.
Be advised that the History Lab thus constitutes an exception to the rule that only the first course toward a history major may be taken P/F. Since it is not assigned to any distribution group, this course does not fulfill the requirements for inside or outside specialization.
